Families throughout the Studio City region share their experience with our licensed, insured team.
We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

Thank you for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your water softener and whole home filter install! 💧 We’re glad to hear everything went smoothly and that you’re already noticing the difference in your water quality. Our team takes pride in being on-time, easy to work with, and delivering results you can feel right away. We appreciate the recommendation — that’s the DTHP Promise in action. 🙏 - Erik, Owner, Drip Too Hard Plumbing
We recently worked with Drip Too Hard Plumbing after our old water heater stopped working, and they were hands down the best plumber we've ever used in La Crescenta. From the first phone call, they were professional, upfront about our options, and gave us a reasonable estimate. We decided to go with a tankless water heater, and the whole installation was smooth -- they kept everything tidy and even showed us how to use the new system before they left. A few weeks later, we ran into a problem with our drains. They came out right away, handled the sewer line repair quickly, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Everything's been working perfectly ever since. If you need a trustworthy plumber in La Crescenta, this is the team to call. Great service and worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

Thank you so much for the detailed review and for trusting us with both your tankless water heater install and the sewer line repair. I'm glad our team could keep everything tidy, walk you through the new system, and get those drains squared away without any surprises. We work hard to be upfront, fair, and fast—especially for our La Crescenta neighbors—and your peace of mind means everything to us. If you ever need anything down the road, we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty. — Harry, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing (Lic #980629)
We had a leak from our water heater in La Crescenta and needed emergency plumbing fast. Drip Too Hard Plumbing came right away, did a leak detection, and repaired the water heater on the spot. Super professional and fair service worth every penny

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're glad we could get out to La Crescenta quickly, track down the leak, and repair your water heater on the spot. Our goal is fast, clean, and fair service—especially in emergencies. If you ever need anything else (or if that water heater gives you another hiccup), we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 1-year workmanship warranty. — Erik, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing
What Studio City Homeowners Call Us About
Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Studio City.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Studio City homes built in the 1950s-1960s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low water pressure and rusty water throughout neighborhoods like Woodbridge Park and Colfax Meadows.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Studio City's mature landscaping and established trees create ongoing sewer line challenges, particularly in older neighborhoods near Ventura Boulevard. Root intrusion is especially problematic for homes with original cast iron sewer lines from the post-war building boom.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water from LADWP causes significant sediment buildup in Studio City water heaters. This is particularly common in the area's ranch-style homes where original water heaters may have decades of mineral accumulation causing loud operational noises.
Unexplained increase in water bills
Learn more
Hidden leaks are common in Studio City's post-war tract homes, often occurring in under-slab copper pipes or aging galvanized connections. The valley's stable soil helps hide these leaks until they become significant, resulting in mysterious water bill spikes for homeowners.
